Help! My Guy Friend Wants to Propose on an Airplane. Bad Idea?

My guy friend is adorable, handsome and sweet, but I think his proposal idea is kind of a disaster! He wanted me to ask you guys...

Here's his idea: My friend is taking his girlfriend on a romantic trip to Mexico. Originally, he was planning to pop the question on a white sandy beach, under the twinkling stars, but then he suddenly got the idea that it might be funny (funny!) to propose on the airplane instead. "She'll never expect it," he said, "And after I propose, we'll be sitting together for a few hours and we can talk about the wedding...we'll kick off the trip in style!"

Uhhh, I love my friend, but I think his idea is a recipe for disaster! Everyone feels gross on planes--your feet are swollen, your face is dry, you're usually in comfy clothes--and what if they have a third person sitting next to them? How awkward to have a stranger witnessing this incredibly intimate moment...and then peeking over at you guys for the rest of the flight.

What do you guys think? Would the airplane proposal be awesome, funny and unique? Or should my friend wait until they can hear the ocean waves lapping before he gets down on one knee? I'd love to hear your thoughts--and so would he!!!!!
